Description

Sunnyside is a pair of cottages, now functioning as a single residence, built in the mid-19th century. The cottages feature stone walls with ashlar quoins and are rendered. They have a slate roof with gable ends and a rebuilt 20th-century brick chimney at the center ridge. The building is two storeys high and has two windows, which are 2-light cast-iron casements with glazing bars. These windows have stone mullions at the center and low cills, all of which are intact from the 19th century. There are porches on the left and right of the center, each with pitched slate roofs and pointed-arch entrances, although these have been partly filled in. The right porch has a 19th-century plank door, while the left has a door that was renewed in the 20th century. At the rear of each cottage, there is a small outhouse extension located under the main rear pitch of the roof.

Local climate

Sunnyside receives an average of 830 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 53% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 70% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 26 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 72% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
